That's a good graphic.
Bear in mind that the satellite actually sits almost three earth diameters above that red dot in the Indian Ocean.

The search for evidence of Malaysia Airlines flight #MH370 was suspended today because of rough weather, but the number of ships and planes heading to the area to hunt for the missing plane is growing.
The lack of concrete data about what happened to the plane and its 239 passengers has left their families - and the world - with more questions than answers.
Here's what we know now as of now about the investigation into missing flight MH370.
Check out ABC News' photos of the search for the flight here, too.

Doppler effect, as detected by a satellite.
Suppose you are outside and it is very quiet. You hear a train whistle in the distance. You don’t know where the train is, nor can you see it, but you can hear the whistle. The whistle starts out with high pitch, then gets steadily lower. You can the surmise that the train passed by you, and you would know the general direction that the train was travelling.
If you knew the pitch of the whistle when the train is standing still, and you knew how fast the train was travelling, and you had a precise way to measure the pitch of the whistle as you hear it pass you, you could determine the direction the train is travelling.
Back to the plane...
This method assumes that the plane was travelling at a constant speed. As it was shown, the plane changed altitude drastically. It is entirely possible that the plane changed speed. The data analysts HAD to assume an airspeed. If the airspeed changed just a little, they could be off by a lot.
I am not quite so confident thatthey know where it went.
So who would be holding the passengers right now then? Are they free to go or hostages? Your theory doesn’t make much sense, sorry.
All the studies and models have about the same credibility as globull warming models without evidence.
As good a story as any.
Personally I lean toward the stolen plane theory and think its somewhere in Pakistan or Somalia.
Really? Not just a bit of dramatic license here? Even the most optimistic family member could not have seriously thought their loved one survived this.
Truth is, we don’t know crap. We also have no hard evidence.
A proclamation from Malaise-ya is not reassuring to many.
We will know eventually. Either the plane will turn up if hijacked or the wreckage will turn up. When? I couldn’t tell you but there is certainty that we will eventually know.
From what I have heard about the data analysis, I would think you would get the same doppler effect and resulting positional data from both a southern route and a mirror northern route toward India and Pakistan. The satellite did not get directional data, so how would they eliminate the mirror image route?
Ok, if that is the case, where is this one?

The passengers and crew! Yea Davy Jones is holding them hostage in his locker!
Actually, it’s Inmarsat and the AAIB (UK Air Accidents Investigation Board) that gave the information to the Malaysian government.
It’s kind of hard to hold the passengers for ransom when they’re under water ... :-) ...
“1) We’ll never know the truth and;”
That’s possible, but I don’t think it’s a certainty. We eventually found out the truth about Air France 447.

That’s quite a distance and yet it painted the location of the plane at the right distance at 1:11 and 2:11 as verified by Malaysian radar.
I think Inmarsat sent another plane on the same course, then they gathered the ping data from that plane and compared it to MH370 to double check their analysis.
The plane didn’t have enough fuel to get from their last known position to Diego Garcia AFB — according to Inmarsat and the AAIB (UK Air Accidents Investigation Board).
They wouldn’t have enough fuel to fly to those locations - from their last known locations — according to Inmarsat and the AAIB (UK Accidents Investigations Board).
Sometimes they crash into giant bodies of water.
I have found all the "theories" quiet entertaining, though.
All the news about a crash in the Indian Ocean is only to get the relatives and media off the case.
The only reason to have taken the plane to 45k was to kill all the passengers and cabin crew and then shut off the transponder and then take the plane below 18k change course and stay off radar tracking.
It's in Pakistan and with our satellite system our government knows where it is but will keep silent.
The heightened security in Israel is confirmation.
I wonder if this was a cyber attack—somehow terrorists were able to turn things off and change direction from the ground. Re-program the flight path —have the ship fly up—deprive the plane of Oxegen and kill the crew and passengers and set it to fly til it ran out of gas and crashed. There may have been something in the plane that helped this out—in baggage. If this is true—look to see more planes go missing in the future.
